Better Processes from Pipeline Planning to Installation

Do you plan and build piping systems? Are you not yet creating piping plans based on piping and instrumentation diagrams? Would you like to automatically generate piping isometrics from your piping plans? Then our solutions and services can make your day-to-day work much easier. We can help you improve your piping engineering processes and reduce costs.


Pipeline Planning, Design, Construction, and Maintenance


Pipeline construction includes the planning, design, engineering, construction, and maintenance of pipeline systems.

The existing planning is adopted on the basis of P&ID diagrams (piping and instrumentation diagrams) in order to determine the pipe routes and dimensions.

The pipeline planning can then be converted into pipeline isometrics in order to prepare it for production.

Cideon supports you in this process with consulting, efficient software solutions, customized software development, training, and support. Discover our range of services now.

Challenges in Pipeline Construction


Pipeline construction is a complex area of industrial plant construction that requires technical precision, interdisciplinary collaboration, and digital assistance. Below, we highlight key challenges that companies encounter in practice.


Prozessberatung für die Konstruktion

Extensive Planning

Pipeline planning must meet many technical, organizational, and regulatory requirements. These factors make planning time-consuming and error-prone.

A

Complex Design Creation

The creation of production-ready designs is very time-consuming. The transition from planning to implementation (manufacturing and installation) requires a great deal of detailed and precise information.

Änderungsprozess

High Modification Effort

Adjustments to existing plans are often very time-consuming and error-prone - especially if no integrated digital solution is used.

Complex Calculations

Determining costs, amounts of materials, and labor requirements for a project can be very complex and time-consuming, as factors such as the variety of components and planning changes must be taken into account.

Cideon Prozessberatung

High Demand for Staff

Projects can often only be successfully realized with experienced professionals and specialized teams. The greater the technical complexity, the deeper the understanding of materials, standards, and processes must be.

FAQs about Pipeline Planning


Pipeline construction encompasses the planning, engineering, and installation of pipe systems for the safe transport of liquids and gases. In industrial plant construction, it is central to the functioning of technical processes - from energy generation to chemical production.

Pipeline planning is the technical process of dimensioning and modeling pipe systems in industrial plants. It considers medium, pressure, temperature, and standards - and forms the basis for efficient, safe, and compliant plants.

Piping isometrics are technical drawings that show piping in a simplified perspective. They show length, diameter, welds, and components - and serve as the basis for manufacturing, assembly, and documentation in plant construction.

For pipeline planning, specialized CAD software such as AutoCAD Plant 3D and Revit is used. This planning software enables precise 3D modeling, isometrics, and integration into BIM processes for efficient project workflows.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) enables digital, model-based planning in pipeline construction. It improves collaboration, minimizes errors, and supports the integration of CAD and planning software for efficient project workflows and documentation.
